LIBEL

There is a very big notice at the top of Talk:Karen Connelly warning about libel. To say someone has done something illegal, without providing a cast iron verifiable source, e.g. a leading national newspaper, contravenes this. I think that should be perfectly clear.

I only meant to clarify. The passage mentions she had no work visa, which would obviously and definitely mean any work she undertook was illegal. But I suppose it is clear enough without the added word. One question. The rules you quoted, or policy, in the discussion part say that there is room for personal knowledge. How are we to cite personal knowledge if we have it of a particular person? Not that I do, but I get the feeling some of what has been written here is based on personal knowledge.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alice of Wonderland (talk • contribs) .

There is no reference for the fact that she had no work visa, so this is not an acceptable inclusion either, as it casts a negative light on the subject. See BLP. You can't cite personal knowledge in the article. You can bring it up on the talk page with a view to stimulating enquiry into finding verifiable referenced material relating to it, but again caution has to be exercised about what is said, as it could still be libellous on a talk page.
